Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool

Amex Stadium forms the backdrop for a handsomely-looking Premier League encounter between Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool.

After a humiliating 6-1 loss at Aston Villa last weekend knocked them down from a three-game winning run in the Premier League, Brighton bounced back with their first-ever point in major European competition. Despite trailing 2-0 at the break, the ‘Seagulls’ pulled off a second-half comeback to draw 2-2 at Marseille in midweek Europa League action, maintaining a high-scoring trend this season. In fact, they’ve become the first side in English football this century to score and concede 20+ goals across the opening ten competitive games of a new season, living up to their tag as Premier League entertainers. Roberto De Zerbi proved last season he could cope with Liverpool, holding them winless in both top-flight H2Hs (W1, D1), both of which saw Brighton score precisely three goals.

On the other hand, Liverpool scored on either side of halftime to register a 2-0 Europa League win over Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, preserving their 100% competitive record at Anfield this season (W5). It was a perfect way to respond to last weekend’s 2-1 league defeat at Tottenham Hotspur that saw referee Darren England make one of the most bizarre mistakes in recent Premier League history, ruling out Luis Diaz’s opener, even though it wasn’t offside. That result halted Liverpool’s unbeaten Premier League start (W5, D2), but more importantly, ended their 17-match run without losing in the top flight (W12, D5). Connoisseurs of action-packed football will look forward to another Liverpool game on the road after their last four competitive away games featured over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
